English thrash metal legends ONSLAUGHT return in full force with their blistering new release, Origins Of Aggression, out now via Reigning Phoenix Music. Leading the charge is the newly recorded version of “Thermonuclear Devastation Of The Planet Earth” – a scorched-earth anthem packed with apocalyptic riffage. First appearing on the band’s debut album Power From Hell, released in 1985, the track has been re-recorded for Origins Of Aggression to mark the 40th anniversary of ONSLAUGHT’s explosive entry into the metal scene. Four decades later, its message feels just as urgent and relevant as it did back then – if not more so.
